On my Facebook page I have posted info about the other local artists who will be there (their work looks amazing).

Dotty O'Bracket and friends are in the Letter as Art printmaking exhibition at the Museum in the Park, Stroud. The PV is on Sunday 7th August at 5pm. During the day I am helping to run a 'drop in' family workshop which should be fun. The university have lent us some fabulous large wooden letterpress type to print/play with...

This is the 2nd book I made for the Open Studio event for Stroud Artist's Book Club. It is a small concertina book with a little limerick at the beginning and was also created from a series of my collagraph prints.

For the last two weekends the Stroud Artists' Books group has been taking part in the Open Studios event at the SVA. There were a great many visitors and it was lovely to speak to some of them while I was stewarding. Some people were quite knowledgeable about Artists' Books had some had never heard of them. I think we recruited a few new members too.
I created two new little books in time for the event and sold quite a few. The images in both were taken from collagraphs which I made a while ago, when working on the prints for the 20:20 Exchange.

SWIM with Dotty O'Bracket is an accordian book with
a little poem and printed and hand-coloured elements. 12.5cms x 11cms when closed (66cms opened out).

I'll photograph the other book today and show you that in the next post.

I have a book in an exhibition at UWE library at the moment along with lots of others by members of the Artists Book Club. I am running the club this year at UWE along with another Kate (Bernstein).

Once Upon a Time... is a double sided concertina book made up of collagraphs. Each tower has the king on one side and the princess on the other with the suitors riding between the two. It's about 12ins x 6ins when closed. You may recognize the characters. They are cut out from some of the (many) proofs/experiments I had left from making the Journey Home print.
